Here are the reasons you should not buy this mouse:

1. It is way too expensive. I in weak moment when I was not paying attention to number, I bought it for $29.99. It is small and so will fit well in a stuffed laptop bag but 29.99 is way too much. But this not the reason why you should not buy it. The real reason is below.

2. Making a small mouse does not mean that its cable must be small as well. This mouse comes with a retractable cable. Guess what? First, the designers have made the cable extremely flimsy. I am sure mine will break before the mouse dies. Second, the cable is so short that if I sit on the floor, put the laptop on my lap and connect the mouse to the usb port on the left side of my thinkpad, the mouse DOES NOT reach the floor on the right side.

My purpose in writing this review is to save an innocent buyer from the trouble. But more than that I hate these manufacturers who start shipping the products without using and testing it. This nexus between US suppliers and Chinese manufacturers is costing the consumer a fortune.

This mouse is very small & the retractable cable is a really good feature as it avoids tangling with other wires. But the latch of the retractable cable is really weak & mine was broken within the couple of weeks of use. The mouse is working fine till the date(I Purchased about a month ago) I have used other notebook mice before & think that this is not as par with other branded products in the market.
